To abolish permanent residence status for Offshore permanent visa under the GSM will not attract skilled applicants from more developed countries. It may be attactive to applicants from 3rd and 4th world countries with strong push factor, with low employabilty attrib utes.

Are these changes on your own personal wish list or are they changes you have heard may be in the wind?

Glenn and I, are good friends, togather have fought many battles in MIA forum. Glenn is a good and well founded visionary. I think in this instance it must be in his wish list.

For once I cannot see how the Cabinet will approve to abolish offshore pernamnent residency visa. That will be totally contrary to the economic goals of AUSTRALIA.

The scams and frauds are mainly in the education and student visa sector from thrid world countries. The problem is being fixed. The Immi minister has declared in India that he will delink Australian education to Australin Immigration residence status.

let the vice chancellors and vocational institutions find their own source of funds to survive.


The scams and fraud are very minimial in the off-shore visa applications.

Sheelagh & Robert,

It is my wish list which I will send to the Minister shortly.

Considering the fact that my submission on student visas on Feb 09 to Mr. Chris Evans and April 09 to Ms. Julia Gillard has been acted upon and changes made, I am confident my proposal will not be thrown in the "Delete Box"


Under the present economic climate it sounds good to abolish Offshore Independent permanent visa unless there is an Employer or State Sponsorship.

Economic goals will be fulfilled with an Employer or State Sponsorship.
